KCC 304/2001
This case involved a divorce and maintenance paid to the wife and son. A key issue was whether amounts should be reduced as rent was included in the calculation even though the husband had provided them with housing.
Background
A wife filed case against her husband before the court. She requested the court to order the husband to pay her expenses and the expenses of her son. She also requested the court to validate her custody of her son. She said that she got married to him and that he expelled her from the home.
The court ruled that the husband should pay the wife 150 Dinars per month and that the custody of the son should be validated.
The wife and the husband appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court amended the appealed ruling and ruled that the husband should also pay 70 Dinars per month to the son.
